I would probably cook the chicken and then mix in spinach at the last minute so it just wilts. Then mix with cooked pasta and add some olive oil. I would also chuck some sultanas/raisins in if you have some.

Ooh - I did chicken and spinach spaghetti for dinner the other night. Do you have any chopped tomatoes and mozarella? If so this is the recipe I used. It went down a treat

you could mix the spinach with some soft cheese & stuff the chicken with that? then have the pasta as a side dish

or do an italian inspired bake with a tomato sauce then layer the chicken & spinach & pasta together
